Hey All:
Thought I would cross post here since this works fine with our devices but is on the Wizard forum. I have a 6800 and was looking for a good skin to replace the WMP default - but liked the look of the HTC Audio Manager (which I would use except it doesn't play albums in order).
So, I found this skin for WMP which was darn close to what I wanted. Tonite I modified the graphics a little to make it more like the HTC player.
Check it out...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315941
The images I modified are below. Just download the zip from post one, then throw my stuff in there to complete the look! Props to monoberlin for a great looking base skin!

Hey, that's pretty good. I think I'm gonna load that one up. Thanks!
Really nice.
By the way how did you get the album picture to show?
In the link your screen capture shows a picture in the center, I assumed that was an album pix.
Anyone knows how to show the picture saved in the tags?
Thanks,

Well, I would assume that if it were in the IDv3 tags that it would show, but going through my music it looks like it only works when you have the WMP style album art files in the same folder. Just use WMP on your computer to get the album art and make sure you copy over the (hidden I believe) picture files that are in the same folder.
I started using this theme and it works wonders in the car with the larger buttons. Thanks for everyones hard work in making my phone such an amazing device.
That looks very hot... but who uses WMP? =/ It sucks - can't even play with the screen turned off and theres no plugin support
How about skins for TCPMP that show you the song title of internet radio

There is no skin definition in TCPMP. Coreplayer has an XML skin reference, have fun reading their -->31<-- page Universal Skins Guide
Thank you, it looks really nice!

Hey all, dunno if this should really be wizard specific, but here goes...
I'm looking for a way to apply an animated background to my today screen, using a single GIF file. I'm not sure if it is possible myself, but the flash ones soak up so many processor cycles, on an already limited device... I have run a basic search, but i've not come up with anything other than how to use one as a sort of screensaver.
Would be nice to have some slowly animated backgrounds, like the ones I stole off my mum's new w950i (which is also very nice, although not a scratch on the wizard).
Hope someone can help, thx

Hi
iwould appreciate something like this aswell, but another thing that would be awsome is Animated caller ID or mayb if we can set short .mp4 or 3gp or .wmv file to playback a video instead of just a picture!! i no that on my symbian devices i can do it with a third party application, it has the ability to associate a .3gp as the file for a specific caller then a music video plays instead!!!!.

there are no free solutions as far as i am aware. Some software that does the trick here http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=3372 and there are others too - google to find
I think you've misread my request. I don't want to use flash, only GIF files...

Ha ha sorry i misread your post try active today http://www.pocketfacelift.com/activetoday.html
Let us know if it works well, i am interested 2.
i suspect that FaceLift is just embedding an HTML control on the today screen. Can be very resource heavy for the solution. There are better apps for that job...

Thanks vijay
I am testing activetoday (diff from facelift), any recommendations V?
EDIT Activetoday works v nicely, only 47kb install and takes 200kb ram. I would consider buying
EDIT2 Seems a little buggy - you have to soft reset after each change of animated gif, but still good Still works after standby etc....
I don't know if it's actively developed anymore, but there's an app called SideX which I think is great. Lets you float keyboards, plugins etc.

That came with a great today screen html plugin, but it probably does no more then the one you mentioned - however, in the SideX package you get a ton of other features with it....

Here is a new audio player 4 ya! Customizable, big buttons, etc. Pack into ROM ENJOY!!!
Very Nice... Finally an app that I like more than WMP.
how do you install it?
Its for ROM cooking (you place the folder in the OEM one) but if you copy the folder into your phone and you run the .exe it runs OK

then put a shortcut on your start menu and your set
Looks very good, but I think wmp is better
Anyone want to post a screen shot or maybe a cab file for this?
A few screenshots and a feature list would be a better way of encouraging usage. Simply telling me that this is "customizable" is hardly a big reason for me to bother downloading it!
No offence and I'm grateful you shared the app but I'd appreciate it if you'd also share some information about it.
[Edit]
I did a little research of my own and assuming this is the same thing, it's a nice looking app. Two features that look nice compared with built-in WMP: ability to create playlists on the phone and ability to make an MP3 (or your selected part of an MP3) into a ringtone.
See the app in action here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwhTHFoXPiQ
the video one looks better
here it is in cab form. It just installs to the windows drive, copies the shortcut and installs the reg keys.
what reg keys?
I did it the old fashion way, copy over and created shortcut myself. havent checked if it created reg keys. kinda lazy right now
these ones are included in the package
Code:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\audiomanagerapp\DefaultIcon]
@="AudioManager.exe,-102"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\audiomanagerapp\SelectIcon]
@="AudioManager.exe,-103"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\AudioManager]
"AudioManager"="1.0"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\MASD]
"AudioManager"="1_2_409721_v"
Screenshot
I love this program... Not too sure how to skin it yet, but it's very nice by default.

Thank you for the screen shot and the cab file
Been running it for a few days now. Works great. The power consumption is just unbelievable. It hardly consumes anything. Weird. I hope there is some way to show album art. It looks too plain
What video one?
just installed on prophet, works well.
thanks you guys!
What is different about this than the already installed WMP?
great app
installed on wizard...nice app, it's more intuitive than WMP.
well i thinks its nice, but it doesnt have a Today screen plugin like WMP does, but the make your own custom rington is really cool. other than that its not that different.
Ok now that you now a lot about Prophets let us know how's your Today Screen look a like
So, let's start with mine Today Screen:
It's a very simple PDAviet ROM today screen only with Marsware Weather Panel with animated icons.
So, post your screenshot now !
hha.. Sorry... it's not a prophet.. but.. here.

(latest pdaviet, with audiomanager today plug from the wizard thread)
The overall effect is ugly, I know...but i like it! ...it's like; technology, man...
Hey Triplejay
Where is the download for the MediaPlayer Today plugin you use please?
I have found 1 version of it (1.00 build 227.714) in the wizard thread, but while you can use it to control Audio Manager, it does not function with WMP. Just loads WMP no matter where u tap it.
I do like Audio Manager and would use it except that when wanting to play music by album, it plays the tracks in alphabetical order which is just dumb.
Hehe.. I change like the seasons..
the audiomanager plug in on it's own was on about page 30 or something. I've attached it here, but, you might not need it, because...
Something I didn't realise straight away, you have to go into settings, today, items, music plug-in and choose "the plug in controls audio manager".

Hope that helps, as you can see, spb Shell on the home screen has a bit of a gap when in landscape.
Keep the requests coming!
Here's bigger versions: http://s439.photobucket.com/albums/qq114/tjex/
How bout some XPANEL shots, and the nifty looking media browser/player thingy. Thx
tjex,
could you post a photo of the X1 sitting on a table, with the keyboard open? Does it topple over? I'd like to see how much the screen comes up due to the curved slider.
Also, they say the devices comes in silver or black. Do you know if htat would be just a cover that could easily be exchanged?
Finally, I'd like to second master athlon's request for xpanel shots...
Thanks,
N.
No problem, here you go. Pics of the keyboard out.
My phone is silver. Not sure how easy it would be to put a cover on it. The great thing is, it's VERY well built. All metal, the keyboard slides out very smoothly. It's a really great phone.
You can type on it while it's open on the desk.
If the pics are too small, let me know and I'll re-export them.
I'll get you guys some pics of the xpanel but they wont be different than the ones that are already on the web and to be honest the version on the released phone will have many more panel options. For example, I don't have the one for video playing.
tjex,
great screen shots.
Does the X1 playback VGA video? Can you post details of anything that you have tried and how well it is played back?
Also, can it record video 640*480 mpeg4 (NOT 3GP)
And how does the keyboard feel? Is it comfortable?
Thanx
well nevermind about the Panel shots then. Can you do some shots of the sides, for things like the USB port, etc. Thanks
More shots of other 3rd party applications?
And ya, how are the keys?
hi tjex , have you tried if tomtom7 run ? Thnx !
Here's some more screenshots:
..and som more..
Panel overview:
Thanks for the Panel and music shots. Music player looks very nice and easy to use.
So for most apps, was the screen stretched (to fit the bigger resolution), or did it just fill it up something else?
Thank you nelshh,
OH my God. Are these actual Xperia screens????
How smooth and fast is Opera 9.5 in Xperia compared to others WM?
Apparently something to try for those with the test sets now
when did you kids get the Sony X1 ??
i want it too! and i dont wanna freaking wait either!
how about a screenshot of Remote Desktop running in 800x480 resolutions?
"when did you kids get the Sony X1 ??"
prerelease models send out for review and tesing...
Can tjex and nelshh give some opinions here?
Hey nelshh, what build of opera is that? And is that flash player 7, or is flash lite 3 possibly comming with the x1?
I decided to update wired69's vga touchflo skin for wvga devices. It's a skin for Conduits Pocket Player
Simply tap the center of the screen to switch between the various views:
Standard View >> Large Spectrum Analyser View >> Album Art View
I am too lazy to make my own screenshots so here are the vga ones to get a preview of what it looks like:
Standard WVGA Version

WVGA Playlist Enabled Version
]
WVGA Landscape Version
NOTE: Recommended Vis settings: Enable Small Spectrum Analyser
The musical note icon on the bottom left will call up the 'Now Playing' screen whilst the settings (cog) icon will toggle the Equaliser on or off.
I plan on tweaking it further but thought I would share it for now so please leave feedback.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Extract the PSZ file and copy it to where you have installed Pocket Player (e.g. "<storage>\Program Files\Pocket Player" or "<storage>\Program Files\Conduits\Pocket Player" if using an older version).
Post #1 updated with new version
Some small mistakes corrected. Attachment updated accordingly
Thanks for this. Can you modify this for 6.5.x? Screen shot of your skin on 6.5.3 attached.

Can you upload/send me a screenshot with the correct dimensions? I am still running 6.5 (without the .X) and need to know the exact number of pixels to adjust.
Umm, that is a un-modified screenshot taken with Shake and Save.

I believe the uploader modifies picture sizes automatically. The picture from the site downloads as 365x608 pixels but it should be 480x800. The best method is to upload to a picture image site and the link directly to the picture's url
Would this be fine?

I fixed the problem for win 6.5.x it's very simple you just have to make the background some pixel longer no need to edit script.txt
Oh and you can switch from playlist to album art just by taping in the top right corner of the player(where the small album art is). I have turned off small visualization and all visualisations and put a button there instead in my personal version of this skin.(Not the one I uploaded) Anyway great work it's years that I use pocket player with very ugly skins.
^^Thanks. Works fine here, except it defaults to the default skin when in landscape. Np that, though. Thanks again!

pocket player uses a different skin for landscape so you have to select the one you prefer by accessing options in landscape mode. The landscape version of this skin is not working for me anyway.
I can't believe it's taken me THIS long to find this thread! Awesome! Thank you so much!
A question, though: is there any way to make a shortcut to the Lyrics anywhere? From the main screen?
I've tried contacting Conduits for help with this, but no response
This is the best skin ever!!! I agree with above...perhaps the EQ button could become lyrics? It's rare to want to switch EQ on and off...
great skin, looking for something like this since a long time, i was stuck with a qvga one since my kaiser days
again, great work, and thanks
